Joy Gregory (Critical Studies MFA 99) reports: “I’ve been really enjoying the opportunity to engage with voters in Palmdale and Valencia while campaigning for Christy Smith who is running for Congress in CalArts’ congressional district, CA-25. Professionally, I’m working on a screenplay based on the life of Connie Lawn, a freelance reporter and White House correspondent who covered 10 administrations. And I finally finished a first draft of a new play called The Lonely Ape, hopefully coming to a regional theater near you soon.”
